What is recorded here
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, in the valley of the Baurearagh River. A D-shaped area (15.5m NE-SW) defined by the ruins of a curving drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.3m) with a straight NE side (L 20.5m) which is formed by a linear drystone wall of a recent field boundary. The curving wall is set on the lip of a scarp (H 1.6m), which is faced with a partially collapsed drystone wall. This is possibly part of a circular enclosure that may have extended beyond the linear field boundary to the NE.
